حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ وَقُتَيْبَةُ وَابْنُ حُجْرٍ جَمِيعًا عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ - قَالَ ابْنُ أَيُّوبَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ - أَخْبَرَنِى سَعْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ كَثِيرِ بْنِ أَفْلَحَ عَنِ ابْنِ سَفِينَةَ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- يَقُولُ « مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ تُصِيبُهُ مُصِيبَةٌ فَيَقُولُ مَا أَمَرَهُ اللَّهُ إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ اللَّهُمَّ أْجُرْنِى فِى مُصِيبَتِى وَأَخْلِفْ لِى خَيْرًا مِنْهَا. إِلاَّ أَخْلَفَ اللَّهُ لَهُ خَيْرًا مِنْهَا ». قَالَتْ فَلَمَّا مَاتَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ قُلْتُ أَىُّ الْمُسْلِمِينَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَبِى سَلَمَةَ أَوَّلُ بَيْتٍ هَاجَرَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم-. ثُمَّ إِنِّى قُلْتُهَا فَأَخْلَفَ اللَّهُ لِى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم-. قَالَتْ أَرْسَلَ إِلَىَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- حَاطِبَ بْنَ أَبِى بَلْتَعَةَ يَخْطُبُنِى لَهُ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ لِى بِنْتًا وَأَنَا غَيُورٌ. فَقَالَ « أَمَّا ابْنَتُهَا فَنَدْعُو اللَّهَ أَنْ يُغْنِيَهَا عَنْهَا وَأَدْعُو اللَّهَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ بِالْغَيْرَةِ ».
Umm Salamah, the wife of the Prophet (s.a.w), said: "I heard the Prophet (s.a.w) say: 'There is no person who is afflicted with a calamity and says: 'Innalillahi wainna ilaihi raji'un. Allahummajuni fi musibati wa akhlif If khairan minha (Verily to Allah we belong and unto Him is our return. O Allah, reward me for my affliction and compensate me with something better) - but Allah will reward him for his affliction and compensate him with something better."' She said: "When Abu Salamah died, I said what the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) enjoined me to say, and Allah compensated me with someone better than him, the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w)."

"When a person dies, his works end, except for three: ongoing charity, knowledge that is benefited from, and a righteous child who prays for him."
Prophet Mohammed (PBUH)
"The best of what a man leaves behind are three: a righteous child who supplicates for him, ongoing charity the reward of which reaches him, and knowledge that is acted upon after him."
Sunan Ibn Mājah
"Every day two angels come down from Heaven and one of them says, 'O Allah! Compensate every person who spends in Your Cause,' and the other (angel) says, 'O Allah! Destroy every miser.'"
